Resumo

Os inquéritos públicos oferecem uma fonte de dados valiosa para a pesquisa em administração, especialmente para compreender os desafios enfrentados durante eventos significativos, como desastres ou escândalos. Este estudo propõe um framework que posiciona os inquéritos públicos não apenas como fontes de dados, mas também como roadmaps, abordando seus resultados, práticas discursivas e dinâmicas de poder. O trabalho também enfatiza a relevância de inquéritos públicos e seus relatórios para pesquisadores interessados na história organizacional. Apresentamos a nossa proposta metodológica, um guia que serve como base para que pesquisadores utilize os inquéritos públicos como uma fonte de dados, mas também como um componente essencial do próprio estudo. No entanto, o uso desses inquéritos públicos também apresenta desafios, pois eles são moldados por diversas forças e não devem ser tomados ao pé da letra. Ao examinar as contribuições e os desafios metodológicos do uso de inquéritos públicos na pesquisa acadêmica, este estudo busca incentivar seu uso em administração, especialmente em contextos em que a colaboração entre organizações e academia é limitada.
